Pre-Season Friendlies 2015.

[sam_arvey]

Wolves and tranmere added to Cardiff game.

 

[GFCSludge]

Gillingham Pre-Season formula =

Pick 6 away games from the following:- Folkestone, Tonbridge, Faversham, Bromley, Dover, Ashford, Ebbsfleet, Dartford, Welling
Pick 2 home games from localish Championship teams eg:- Brighton, Ipswich, (ex) Millwall etc

Job done. EVERY SINGLE FUCKING SEASON.

What's wrong with a tour of Ireland or Belgium or Sweden or even fucking Syria? Anything just to break the monotonous, predictable routine, the same old shit year-in, year-out.

I would love a week on the smash in Ireland watching us play the likes of Cork City or Bohemians, Christ it can't be any less of a workout than being booted up the 'arris by the cloggers that play for fucking Dover or Welling.

Roll on August.

4 of those confirmed already (tonbridge, folkestone, faversham and brighton)

 

[GFC4EVA]

The games we played in France a few years ago were popular would like to see us do something like that again

You might be better off travel wise in the French league next season !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[GFC4EVA]

I know we're closer to most of the teams in France than to league one

Jesus calm down. It's a pre-season schedule, it doesn't really matter where we play, all that matters is that our players get a good run out against a variety of standards of teams to build up fitness, teamwork and sharper technique after the summer off. We've had a few trips over to France in the last few years which have been fun but to be honest I wouldn't want the club wasting money going on tour every summer. Pre-season is what it is - and at the end of the day as long as our squad are ready for the first game of the season then I couldn't care less how they get there.

I'm pretty sure nearly every team in this league will have a bank of non-leaguers who they visit most pre-seasons anyway.

 

[JoeJoeJoeJoe]

We've got our normal game against Nuneaton on July 11th

 

[JoeJoeJoeJoe]

Confirmed a friendly against Oxford United on August 1st

 

[Fedora Dale]

A trip to AFC Fylde joins the stellar list of Dale Friendlies.

 

[THE TERRACEMAN]

All pre season friendlies confirmed as of today,
July 1st Gresley away, 4th Micleover Sports away, 18tWolves home, 21st Benfica home, 25th Birmingham City home, 29th Leicester City home,
Aug 1st the sheep at home.
Some interesting games with the Benfica game being the stand out, not sure how we pulled that one off !

 

[UTS]

Macc away, catch up with mates from uni and go Manc after.

 

[CFC91]

We have Matlock Town away confirmed for 14th July so far.

 

[joethegill]

We've added a trip to Bromley to our schedule. Usually a decent day out that one, but unfortunately it's midweek.

 

[Bottega Don]

Bolton at home and Gainsborough away so far, Gainsborough is always quite good.

 

[valefan16]

[UTS]

Blackburn (A)
Morecambe (A)
Warrington(A)

 

[Fedora Dale]

Home game v Blackburn added to our schedule.

 

[darren gregory]

Home game against Notts County confirmed... strange one!

At least 800 attendance for this mouth watering prospect. Burton Albion host Benfica, we have Bolton and County !! Someone like Everton or Villa would bring 1500 minimum, sums Vale up, do well get 2000 for both games combined. Why you would want lower league opposition at home is beyond me.

 

[CFC91]

We have Matlock Town away confirmed for 14th July so far.

Adding in Staveley MW A 24th July.

Spine tingling.

 

[Fedora Dale]

Do Dortmund B play at Signal Iduna Park or somewhere else?

Infact that doesn't even matter, I'd be all over that if it was Latics!

I think the Dortmund match is at the training ground next door. Can't afford to go.
